Overview Foundation is a remote B2B content marketing agency working with SaaS, education, and service brands that expect more than just ad spend: they expect strategic rigor, technical competence, and measurable outcomes. We help ambitious organizations grow through content, SEO, and performance distribution.

Who This Role Is For

Comfortable operating across Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, and Reddit Ads — you’re platform-agnostic and pick up new platforms quickly

Execution-focused: you take a clear brief and run with it without needing to be managed step by step

Detail-oriented by nature — you notice when something’s off in a campaign setup before it becomes a problem

Takes ownership of the accounts you’re responsible for, and communicates clearly when something needs attention

Builds trust through consistency: you do what you say, when you say you’ll do it

Motivated by measurable outcomes — you care about CPL, ROAS, and pipeline contribution, not just impressions

Who This Role Is Not For

Need full creative autonomy or want to own strategy from the ground up

Prefer staying in one or two platforms rather than working across a full channel mix

Uncomfortable with ambiguity or fast-moving account priorities

Avoid troubleshooting tracking issues or digging into data to find answers

Need constant direction or check-ins to stay on track

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Build and launch paid campaigns across Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, and Reddit Ads based on strategic briefs from the Paid Media Strategist

Monitor daily campaign performance and make optimization decisions on bidding, pacing, targeting, and creative rotation

Maintain tracking integrity — flag discrepancies, support GTM and GA4 setups, and ensure data accuracy across accounts

Execute A/B and creative tests defined by the Strategist; document results clearly so learnings can be applied going forward

Prepare regular performance reports and contribute to client-facing updates with accurate data and clean commentary

Proactively surface anomalies, opportunities, or issues to the Strategist before they become problems

Support campaign builds for new client onboardings, including structure setup, audience creation, and pixel/tag verification

What Success Looks Like

Your campaigns launch on time, are set up correctly, and deliver against the KPIs defined in the Strategist’s brief

Tracking is clean across your accounts — data is accurate and trusted by the team and the client

You’re catching performance issues before they’re flagged by someone else

The Strategist can rely on you to execute without needing to re-explain or re-check your work

You’re improving — each month you understand the platforms, the clients, and the process a little better

Experience pulling performance data, identifying trends, and communicating findings clearly

Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with multiple accounts and shifting priorities

HubSpot experience is an asset but not required

Familiarity with B2B buying cycles, lead generation, and funnel-stage targeting is a strong plus
